How to Remove Yourself from USPhoneBook (2026 Guide)

Quick answer: Go to https://www.usphonebook.com/removal, say who you are, enter your name and email, and click “Begin Removal Process.” USPhoneBook then emails you a link to the record removal form, and that link expires after 24 hours, so fill the form to match the record and submit it right away. Free, about 5 to 10 minutes. The site says to allow 3 days for the request to be fully processed.

What is USPhoneBook?

USPhoneBook is a free reverse phone lookup site run by Confi-Chek, Inc. Anyone can type in a phone number and see the name behind it, along with age, current and past addresses, and the names of relatives. Searches also work in the other direction, starting from a name. That combination is exactly what phone scammers want. A listing that ties a senior’s phone number to an age and a home address is a ready-made targeting profile.

Before you start

This one is quick. Plan on about 5 to 10 minutes. The opt-out costs nothing, and removal never legitimately requires payment.

You will need:

• A web browser.
• An email address. USPhoneBook emails you the link to its removal form, and that link expires after 24 hours, so use an inbox you can open right away. If you have a spare address, use it here, since brokers sometimes hold on to the contact details they collect.

You do not need to find your listing first. The removal form matches you by the details you enter.

Doing this for a parent? The form makes room for this: its “I am:” dropdown includes “An authorized agent of the subject of the request,” so submitting for someone else is formally supported. The emailed form link can go to your own inbox, so they never have to touch it. Pulling a number off a reverse lookup site cuts straight at the spam calls and scam texts hitting their phone, and the junk mail slows down too. There is no shortcut through the grind, either: a manual removal list runs to twenty-plus sites like this one, each with a different form and a different verification ritual.

How to opt out of USPhoneBook

1. Go to https://www.usphonebook.com/removal, titled “US Phone Book Opt-Out Form.” You can also get there from the usphonebook.com homepage by scrolling to the footer and clicking “Do Not Sell My Personal Information.”
2. In the “I am:” dropdown, choose “The subject of the request,” or “An authorized agent of the subject of the request” if you are filing for someone else.
3. Enter the first name (middle name is optional), the last name, and an email address you can open right away. Select the authorization statement, complete the captcha, and click “Begin Removal Process.”
4. Open the email from USPhoneBook and click the link to the record removal form. It usually arrives within a few minutes; check your spam folder if you do not see it. The link expires after 24 hours, and if it lapses you have to start over.
5. Fill in the removal form so the details match the record you want taken down. The more accurate the details, the better the match.
6. Submit the form. A confirmation page appears and a confirmation email follows. The site says to allow 3 days for the request to be fully processed.

If the flow feels familiar, that is because it runs on the same platform and steps as TruePeopleSearch’s opt-out, so families working the whole list will recognize it. If the page will not load or keeps rejecting your details, try a different browser, or turn off any ad blocker or VPN. Earlier guides also list a phone route: call (888) 747-4095 and ask to opt out of the people search database.

How long it takes

USPhoneBook says to allow 3 days for a request to be fully processed after you submit the record removal form. Some removals go through faster. After three days, search your name and your phone number on the site to confirm the listing is gone. Google may show the old page in search results for a few extra days until it re-crawls the site.

Check back in a few months

USPhoneBook rebuilds its database from public records on a rolling basis, so a removed listing can come back weeks or months later. That does not mean your opt-out failed. It means a new record came in and needs its own removal. Search the site for yourself every 90 days and re-submit if you reappear. Managing that by hand means repeating this loop, here and on every other broker site, four times a year. KinKeeper’s Data Removal handles it automatically and runs fresh re-checks every 90 days, so listings that creep back do not go unnoticed.
